I have mostly CBN and some Polycrystalline compounds and know there are diamond etc. but don't knowhow they cut/polish differently from each other. Have read many posts about all of 'em but no comparative descriptions really.

Hoping that someone who knows would post so I can get more of the ones I need...I only have 11 bottles now

Well what compounds do you have currently , and what are you looking to do?

The difference between CBN and Poly is subtle , but it is there. CBN will leave a slightly smoother edge whereas poly will cut deeply and leave more noticeable microscopic teeth that leaves the edge with more bite. Say on a straight razor the CBN will leave the more comfortable edge for shaving (given the same particle size) whereas for knives Poly will leave an edge with more "biteyness" This is what I define as sticky.

I use the CBN on Roo and the Poly on Nanocloth , this highlights each abrasives subtleties better.
